  • The Continuous Effect does not activate.

  • This effect only protects Continuous Traps from destruction.

  • Continuous Traps which destroy themselves (ex: Call of the Haunted) are not destroyed.

  • Continuous Traps still destroy themselves if maintenance costs are not paid (ex: Mirror Wall).

  • Trap Monsters (ex: Zoma the Spirit) can’t be destroyed by battle or card effect.

  • If Heavy Storm would destroy face-up Continous Trap Cards, Imperial Custom is destroyed but all other face-up Continuous Trap Cards (including your opponent’s) remain.

  • Continuous Trap Cards can still:

  • be flipped face-down (a Trap Monster targeted by Book of Moon).

  • be returned to the Deck (by Raiza the Storm Monarch).

  • be returned to the hand (by Giant Trunade).

  • be removed from play (by Caius the Shadow Monarch).

  • have their effects negated (by Jinzo).

  • have their activation (playing face-up) negated (by Dark Bribe). If the activation of a Continuous Trap Card is negated, it is sent to the GY. It was never face-up on the field.
